Hi Stefan.

I have been "playing" around with this great tool and found an interesting "issue" ...

I use multiple logbooks and have both "Protect Selection page = 1" and "Expand Selection Page = 1".

When I open my elog, I get a Standard Login Screen with the Standard Bottom Text "ELOG V2.7.5-2130" which will link to your this website.

When I "Logout" and "Login" again from the Logbook page, I get another Login Screen with my own "Bottom text login" which will link to my own elog page.

How can I apply my own Bottom Text to the Standard Login Screen ?

Thanks & Regards, Barend
 

 By using the configuration option "Bottom Text Login = ..."

Stefan,

I have defined the "Bottom Text Login = ..." in each Logbook Configuration section. But when I use this option in the Global Section, ELOG fails to start.

Barend

 That's strange. I just tried myself following configuration file:

[global]
port = 8080
Bottom text = <center>Hello</center>
Bottom text login = <center>Login Hello</center>
Password file = passwd

[demo1]
Comment = General linux tips & tricks
Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Subject
Options Type = Routine, Software Installation, Problem Fixed, Configuration, Other
Page Title = ELOG - $subject

[demo2]
Comment = General linux tips & tricks
Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Subject

and everything works fine as can be seen from the login screen:

so can you check if above file works for you?

[global]
port = 8080
Bottom text = Hello
Bottom text login = Login Hello
Password file = passwd

 Hi Stefan,

Hope you have enjoyed the Christmas week.

Sorry for the delay.... I have tested your configuration and it worked for me as well. 

In order to determine, which of my settings is causing the problem, I had to activate each individual entry "one by one" and check if the error re-occured. I finally identified following entry "Protect Selection page = 1"

The error also occurs if I change your configuration into:

[global]
port = 8080
Bottom text = <center>Hello</center>
Bottom text login = <center>Login Hello</center>
Password file = passwd
Protect Selection page = 1

Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Subject
Options Type = Routine, Software Installation, Problem Fixed, Configuration, Other
Page Title = ELOG - $subject

Can you advise if I'm missing an entry in order for "Protect Selection page = 1" to work?

"Schönen Rutsch ins neue Jahr".

Barend

Hi all,

i have problems with execute delete (execute new works fine) in following config (the attribute 'Counter' will not evaluated). Can anybody help me?

Here is the config:

Attributes = Counter, Autor, Adressat, Start, Ende, Mitteilung, TextBeachten

Show Attributes = Counter, Autor, Adressat, Start, Ende, Mitteilung, TextBeachten
Show Attributes Edit = Counter, Autor, Adressat, Start, Ende, Mitteilung, TextBeachten


Type Start = date
Type Ende = date
Required Attributes =  Autor, Adressat, Start, Ende, Mitteilung
Extendable options = Adressat
Preset Autor = $long_name
Preset Counter = SoMi-#####



Locked Attributes = Autor, Counter
Required Attributes =  Adressat, Start, Ende, Mitteilung

Options Adressat = Alle, 1. Semester, 2. Semester, 3. Semester, 4. Semester, 5. Semester, 6. Semester, 7. Semester, 8. Semester
MOptions Textbeachten = Bitte Mitteilungs-Text anzeigen lassen



Execute new = C:\xampp\mysql\bin\mysql.exe -h localhost -u root -p123456 -D screen -e "insert into somi (counter,adressat,start,ende,kumi,mitlami,lami) values ('$Counter', '$Adressat', '$Start', '$Ende', '$Mitteilung',  '$TextBeachten', '$text')"


Execute delete = C:\xampp\mysql\bin\mysql.exe -h localhost -u root -p123456 -D screen -e "delete from somi where counter='$Counter'"

Thanks in advance and Merry Christmas!!

Steve

Attribute substitution on 'execute delete' was not implemented, since I thought that the ELOG message ID would be used as the primary key in an SQL database, so one would not need the attributes. I added howver this functrionality in SVN revision 2159, so the next release will contain this fix. 

 This sounds very good! Thank you very much (Could you please add this functionality for execute edit too? Please :-))

Steve

For 'execute edit' this worked from the beginning. 

 Thank you!

Hi,

my ELOG sometimes dies with "deadc0de", do I have too large ELOG config or logbook? Or is it simply a bug?

What can I do to solve this problem? "ulimit"? Or some trace output from elog?

BR, Niklas

 This seems an internal memory allocation problem. Can you reproduce the error? Can you reproduce it with the minimal configuration file coming with the distribution? If you know how to run a program inside the debugger, you can send me a stack trace when the problem occurs and I can check it.

I can produce the problem, but it is related to the information in the logbook which I cannot share...

Configuration:

[global]
port = 8000
Main Tab = Home
Password file = elogpasswd.txt
Admin user = eniklas
Self register = 0
Welcome Title = <h3>ENIKLAS ELOG<h3>
Relative redirection = 1
Entries per page = 1000
Display mode = summary
Suppress Email to users = 1
Summary lines = 0



[General]
Theme = default
Attributes = Type, Subject
Options Type = Configuration, Information, Documents
Extendable Options = Type
Required Attributes = Type
Page Title = ELOG - $subject
Reverse sort = 0
Quick filter = Date, Type


[Testing]
Theme = default

 I'm also having this problem.

It's reproducible, It happens if I try to view a certain entry (or the main list page when that entry is near the top), but goes away when I remove the datafile for that entry.

The file is quite large, since it contains several long entries in HTML encoding with some tables and stuff.

The problem is related to the long entries. It has already been fixed in revision 2141 last month. So please upgrade to the current version.

 I already tried this. I'm using 2156 (latest from SVN) and no joy.

 Well, then I need yoru data file to reproduce the problem here. 

Hello all,

i have a question to mysql inexecute:

This works:

Execute new = mysql -h localhost -u root -D test1 -e "insert into `test1` (author, type) values ('$Author', '$Type')"

This doesn't work:

Execute new = mysql -h localhost -u root -D test1 -e "insert into `test2` (Autor, Adressat, Teil1, Teil2, Teil3,
Teil4, Teil5, Teil6, Teil7, Teil8 )  values ('$Autor', '$Adressat' ,  '$Teil1', '$Teil2', '$Teil3', '$Teil4', '$Teil5',
'$Teil6', '$Teil7', '$Teil8' )"

db is okay, i have all checked this. My question is: can the execute-command take a multiline argument? Or perhaps does somebody see a mistake i have made in the execute-line?

Thanks!

In the elogd.cfg file, you cannot have multi-line options. Either you put everything on a single line (I guess there is also some limit at a few hundred characters) or you call a batch file which then calls the mysql command. 

 Thanks!

Here is an excerpt from my config file:

Type Last Edit = datetime
Preset Last Edit =$entry time
Locked Attributes = Last Edit
Subst on edit Last Edit = $date
Preset on Duplicate Last Edit = $date

I have another attribute called Part that I've made extendable.

When I duplicate an entry, Last Edit is updated with the current date correctly. However, as soon as I click the Add Part button next to my extendable Part attribute, and the page reloads to show the entry box for the Part field, the Last Entry field is replaced with a "-".

I have to submit and then re-edit the entry to get Last Edit to have a valid value again.

 *EDIT*:

I noticed that any time the page reloads while in the entry screen this happens, e.g. by selecting plain instead of html format.

 Thanks for reporting that problem. It has been fixed in SVN revision 2156.

 Excellent! Thank you.

When doing a Select->Edit operation, if an attribute has a type of "numeric" and the records selected already have (some) values for that attribute, then the "- keep original values -" message that is inserted to indicate that the values should be preserved causes the type check to fail.

Would it be possible to modify the Javascript that carries out the type check to treat the "- keep original values -" message as an exception?

 Thanks for reporting this. It has been fixed in SVN revision 2155. The fix will be contained in the next release.

 I would like to be able to substitute some attribute values when an entry is duplicated. I don't see Subst on Duplicate available in the cfg file syntax. Can you add that?

Thanks

Subst on Duplicate does not make sense. Subst always works after you submit an entry, while Preset works before you enter the entry. When you Duplicate an entry, it looks like a new one, just with attributes and text from another entry. So when you submit that one, the system cannot distinguish if you entered a new one by yourself or if this is based on a copy of another entry. So what you probably need is Preset on duplicate.

Thanks for explaining.

I thought Preset would work with Duplicate since Duplicate creates a new entry, but it didn't. Then I tried Subst because Duplicating an entry opens it in Edit mode, so you are in effect Duplicating, and then Editing the entry. It just didn't occur to me to look for Preset on Duplicate.
